link fun

i'm getting a cold and feeling quite terrible today, so you're getting links to read :O) i'll have a real blog post probably tomorrow. i have the day off so i can blog from home. happy reading:

apparently psu is offering a class on joe paterno and his dealings with the media. ha! so dj gallo over at espn. com has written up a faux quiz that one would take in the class. it's hilarious

two work issue related links, one is the terribly awful and sad case of a woman and her children in maryland. the woman was trying to get her husband's visitation with the kids taken away because he has issues and is crazy mentally abusive and scary, the judge refuses to do so and refuses to grant a protection order. dad kills all three kids. the story is awful, but hopefully will help fix the system. do yourself a favor and don't read the comments. trust me.

the second is a super freaking awesome story about wisconson. they just signed a law that would let women who are victims of domestic abuse get out of their leases with their abusive partners. this might not sound like a big deal, but it's huge. we've not ever had luck in advocating to get someone's name off a lease. landlords don't have to let victims out of the lease, so they don't. but that's no longer the case in cheese country, yay wisconson!

oh and in case you're not sure if it's april fools day or not, go to www.isitaprilfools.com for some reason this site cracks me up. i think just the fact that someone pays to have that web address, and it only changes once a year. people are funny.

ok, that's all the link love for this springy april morning. happy thursday everyone! love and hugs from your congested blogger.
